Abstract

This article walks around Ambivalence in the Narrative of the life of Fredrick Douglass. This
piece of study is significant because it provides postcolonial perspective to the analysis of main
character of the novel with the application of Homi Bhaba’s concept of ambivalence in order to
explain protagonist subversiveness and submissiveness and love- hate relations with his masters.
This article evidently divulges that, How White master's language and racism make the
protagonist of the novel an ambivalent character.
